Background

About Matthew Hlinka

I’m a recent finance graduate from James Madison University with hands-on experience managing renovation projects and driving real-world ROI. As a Project Manager at Cava Capital, I’ve overseen 22 inner-city residential renovations, managing $910K+ in capital, generating $880K+ in profit, and streamlining timelines by 77+ days. I thrive in fast-paced, high-accountability environments where attention to detail and outcome-focused execution matter. Beyond construction sites and spreadsheets, I bring a strategic mindset and a bias toward action. Whether coordinating subcontractors, optimizing budgets, or developing quality control processes, I focus on efficiency, precision, and results. My foundation in finance, combined with hands-on project management experience leading residential renovations, has strengthened my ability to align operational execution with financial performance — delivering results on time and under budget. I’m compelled by solving complex problems, creating value, and working with driven teams — whether that's in real estate, finance, operations, or beyond.
